Through coding we foster ​growth mindset, ​grit, and computational thinking.

Think about a time that you had an extremely positive learning experience.

Chances are, it was probably when you felt in control of your own learning. Perhaps it was when you discovered a new passion, found a desire to master a sport, or you started a new job full of creative freedom. ​We try to create that same positive, hands-on learning environment for each of our students. ​​Our secret sauce is the Socratic Method. The rule for our teachers: only questions.

Many students are used to throwing their hands up and declaring, "I don't get it" after a few minutes or even seconds.

We challenge students to struggle with problems. At first, it's 1 minute, then 3, then 5. Before long, parents are commenting that their children have a newfound problem solving stamina they've never seen before.

"In the fixed mindset, if you fail; you're a failure. In the growth mindset, when you fail; you're learning."-Carol Dweck, author of Mindset

"I can't do this," "I'm not smart enough!" " This is too hard"

These are all phrases we don't say at class. We believe in empowering our students to work out their brain like it's muscle by pushing through their challenges.

"I like it here because in my other classes they just give the answers to you, here I get to figure it out for myself. It's more exciting because I feel like I learned it myself."Sofia, age 9

"Most people don't think coding is creative, but it is. It's what makes me stick with it late at night when I'm working on a bug."
